Estimating Raisins

Raisins + Math = A Fun Mess

1. Estimate how many raisins are in your box without opening it.
2. Open your box and count the top layer of raisins. Re-estimate how many are in the box total.
3. Dump out your raisins and count them all.
4. Record how many raisins each group had.
5. What was the maximum number of raisins found by a group?
6. What was the minimum number of raisins found?
7. What was the range? Subtract the minimum number from the maximum number.
8. What was the mode (most frequently found number)?

Now clean up all those raisins you dropped on the floor, oh wait they're all over the seat of your pants and your shoes and our floor. Cool, I hope you learned something!!
